<div style="position:absolute;top:2239;left:58">I think our chronic challenges building an office for </div>

<div style="position:absolute;top:1497;left:450">reflected in the status of our buildings. </div>
<div style="position:absolute;top:1527;left:450">We often hear that the “church is its people not its build-</div>
<div style="position:absolute;top:1547;left:450">ings.” As firmly as I believe that, I think we also need to </div>
<div style="position:absolute;top:1568;left:450">recognize that our buildings in significant part allow us </div>
<div style="position:absolute;top:1589;left:450">to reach out to the public and to be more than a cozy </div>
<div style="position:absolute;top:1610;left:450">collection of friends and like-minded folk. In this re-</div>
<div style="position:absolute;top:1630;left:450">spect, I have been amazed at what is happening now in </div>
<div style="position:absolute;top:1651;left:450">the Diocese of Haiti. On the one hand, that Diocese is </div>
<div style="position:absolute;top:1672;left:450">serving <i>in its own homelessness </i>the critical needs of</div>
<div style="position:absolute;top:1692;left:450">thousands of Haitians who are hungry and homeless. </div>
<div style="position:absolute;top:1713;left:450">Thirty thousand people live in church-run refugee </div>
<div style="position:absolute;top:1734;left:450">camps, and the Diocese is serving countless others </div>
<div style="position:absolute;top:1754;left:450">through medical missions and food programs. I doubt </div>
<div style="position:absolute;top:1775;left:450">there is any other Diocese in the Episcopal Church that </div>
<div style="position:absolute;top:1796;left:450">has or such an extensive infrastructure of churches, </div>
<div style="position:absolute;top:1817;left:450">schools, colleges, and hospitals. Bishop Holly set about </div>
<div style="position:absolute;top:1837;left:450">founding schools in towns and villages throughout the </div>
<div style="position:absolute;top:1858;left:450">country in the 1850’s. The Diocese was responsible for </div>
<div style="position:absolute;top:1879;left:450">over 250 schools at one point and several hospitals. The </div>
<div style="position:absolute;top:1899;left:450">Episcopal Church in Haiti also administers the national </div>
<div style="position:absolute;top:1920;left:450">art museum and sponsors and administers the symphony </div>
<div style="position:absolute;top:1941;left:450">orchestra. Many of these facilities are now destroyed </div>
<div style="position:absolute;top:1961;left:450">and one has to wonder how God’s mission (as it is lived </div>
<div style="position:absolute;top:1982;left:450">out in our denomination as just one example) will suffer. </div>
<div style="position:absolute;top:2003;left:450">But I truly believe that the Diocese will rebuild and be </div>
<div style="position:absolute;top:2024;left:450">stronger for it. </div>
<div style="position:absolute;top:2053;left:450">So what can the attention to internal and interpersonal </div>
<div style="position:absolute;top:2074;left:450">dynamics to which Steinke calls us have to do with our </div>
<div style="position:absolute;top:2095;left:450">parish’s buildings and property? Simply put, we cannot </div>
<div style="position:absolute;top:2115;left:450">live fully into our mission and ministry without them. </div>
<div style="position:absolute;top:2136;left:450">For a start, our buildings and how we live in them offer </div>
<div style="position:absolute;top:2157;left:450">a mirror on all of the concerns Steinke raises in his </div>
<div style="position:absolute;top:2177;left:450">book. But no less important, it is naïve, in my opinion, </div>
<div style="position:absolute;top:2198;left:450">to think that any Christian community—or any religious </div>
<div style="position:absolute;top:2219;left:450">community for that matter, can function effectively over </div>
<div style="position:absolute;top:2239;left:450">the long term without dedicated worship and program</div>
<div style="position:absolute;top:2260;left:450">space that meets current needs and anticipates future </div>
<div style="position:absolute;top:2281;left:450">generations. </div>
<div style="position:absolute;top:2311;left:450">Next month I hope to address more specifically how the </div>
<div style="position:absolute;top:2331;left:450">use of our buildings reflect the concerns that Dr. Steinke </div>
<div style="position:absolute;top:2352;left:450">asks us to consider. In those comments I will also dis-</div>
<div style="position:absolute;top:2373;left:450">cuss why I think we need to move forward with our </div>
<div style="position:absolute;top:2393;left:450">capital campaign, all the while looking at new models </div>
